Satellites 🤝 Farmers NASA’s OpenET system turns satellite data into valuable water insights, helping farmers across the U.S. track how much water is lost to air through evapotranspiration and how to better manage their resources. More: go.nasa.gov/4j4wjt2

Can satellites uncover hidden history? 🛰️🤔 In Stone Town, Zanzibar, researchers are using #Landsat data to map ancient archeological sites, revealing how the city has changed from 1995 to the present. Check out the full story: go.nasa.gov/3YRo3pg

The Rwenzori Mountains in eastern Africa are renowned for their water resources and endemic biodiversity, but like elsewhere in the tropics, the glaciers are dwindling, impacting nearby communities and wildlife. Read the full story: go.nasa.gov/44LNe06

NASA has a record of Earth observation going back more than 50 years. What’s in store for the next 50? 🌎 Hear from two @nasa scientists in the final podcast episode in Curious Universe’s Earth series. Tune in: go.nasa.gov/3ZomjUy 🎧

Severe storms unleashed hail, wind and tornadoes across the U.S. Midwest and Mid-Atlantic on May 16, 2025. Satellites revealed some of the damage in the wake of the storms, like this #Landsat view of a tornado track in southern Illinois. go.nasa.gov/4dvDmdh

Did you know there are 190 confirmed impact craters on Earth? #Landsat 8 captured an image of the Goyder impact structure in Australia—discovered in the 1990s—overlaid on a digital elevation model to give a sense of the topography. 🛰️ go.nasa.gov/3H6oPbP

This is near Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. And see that blue glow? That’s a herring spawn! Every spring, thousands of Pacific herring congregate in shallow, vegetated coastal areas around this area to spawn, like in this #Landsat 8 image from April 27.

Monitoring Louisiana wetlands from space 🛰️ Scientists are using ARCHIVED - NASA Landsat images to detect both abrupt and gradual changes and to examine how storms, rising seas, human activities, and natural patterns have reshaped coastal ecosystems.

Fallow farmland is the main source of human-caused dust storms in California’s Central Valley region, according to a new study using data from NASA and others. From 2008-2022, 88% of major human-caused dust events were associated with fallow land.

Geometric and radiometric calibration are the backbone of #Landsat's exceptional data quality. The USGS and NASA Landsat Cal/Val Team monitors the geometric and radiometric performance of the instruments to maintain the highest level. Learn more here: ow.ly/h9r250W2vTv.

These #Landsat images show the Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre in the South Australian outback, the second largest salt lake in the world, after receiving the water from heavy rainfalls throughout the lake’s basin. The darkening blue hues show the water fill in as the month goes on.

Remembering its 25 years of faithful Earth observation, the USGS and NASA announce the decommissioning of #Landsat 7 from active service June 4th. Read more here: ow.ly/WkTI50W4a0o.

🌎🛰️After 25 years of Earth observation, the USGS bids farewell to #Landsat7 June 4. The legacy continues with Landsat 8 and 9, capturing planetary imagery to support farmers, city planners, and disaster recovery. 👉ow.ly/ZTf150W4mp3 #EarthObservation #NASA
